Why Grow Schoenus maschalinus In Your Landscape

This sedge is ideal for adding texture and function to native gardens, especially where moisture or erosion is a concern. Schoenus maschalinus tolerates fluctuating water levels, wind, and salt-laden air, making it perfect for coastal gardens and wet areas. It also provides valuable habitat and is excellent for use in ecological restoration projects.

Plant Size and Growth Habit

Schoenus maschalinus forms upright clumps reaching 60–90 cm tall and 50 cm wide. The slender foliage gives a refined, grass-like appearance that complements other natives. For dense coverage or erosion control, plant 40–60 cm apart. It grows best in full sun to light shade and adapts well to wet or seasonally dry soils once established.
